Hi, Retina Display one. The reason I’m asking is that if it is the Retina Display unit, you could make sure Power Nap is enabled from within your Energy Saver pane of System Prefs. This will ensure your WiFi connection is maintained. I was having ann issue like that with some MBA 11” at work and the Power Nap fixed that problem. Regarding slow download speeds, a number of factors could be in play here. If you have a ISP that is a Cable company, those sorts of Internet connections tend to share bandwidth within a local area, thus, even though you may have the 60 MB connection, many others in your neighbourhood may be using the bandwidth at the junction point.

Other factors that may affect your download speed include WiFi interference where if you have a considerable number of WiFi networks in the near vicinity. The interference causes degradation in your WiFi’s ability to move data quickly.
